Gamegirl was sick, so we got her phoned in interview.
We're not sure if she was sick previously , or if it was the game that made her sick.
"I'm really not feeling well, so this will be short. It was a nasty day to be sitting there rooting for the Giants for more reasons than one. We were all kind of disappointed."

"You keep hoping week after week that something will change, that they will find the right answer, the right series of plays or strategy or something that will suddenly turn it all around and that we'll finally see some things click in for the offense.
Next week I'm bringing my young nephew to the game. He's very excited and knowledgeable, and I sometimes think he knows more about what's going on than the guys on the field. The Giants have to really worry about winning this game against Arizona.
It's the last one before the bye week and they really need something to build on. They just can't keep going on this way. It makes you want for the good old days when they played well and lost. They at least played well."

That was it for Gamegirl. Her voice was getting raspy and low. Hopefully she and the Giants will be fully recovered for next week.


For the second week in a row, we just let Mikefan go full steam. It's usually not good news when that happens.

"What does it mean when Dan Reeves puts Steve DeBerg, the oldest QB in football, in the game against your team? It means that the game is over, that half your fans won't even notice because they've probably already left, and he is having mercy on your pathetic team.
Kind soul that he is, the ex-giants coach had Steve DeBerg make an appearance against the Giants yesterday as they went down for their fourth loss of the season, and slipped another notch lower in the NFC East standings."

"It was the same old stuff for the Giants this game.
No offense at all, and the defense is out there most of the game until they finally cave. Not having some of the regulars in the defensive lineup, out due to various injuries, cost us a bit more points than usual this week, but the end result would have been the same except by a closer score.
The stats were as bad as usual, and would have been even worse except the Falcons had their fill, and they let the Giants run up the score and run down the clock in the last six minutes of the game."

"Kent Graham was out there at this point, having a grand old time, hustling and playing like he was Randall Cunningham as he ducked and rushed for some yardage and managed a meaningless 75 yard drive against an uncaring Falcon defense, to bring the score up from a crummy 34-13 to a semi-crummy 34-20.
Thanks to that gift of 75 yards, and the added 41 yards on the last non scoring drive of the final 2 minutes, the Giants finished with a total of 266 offensive yards."

"Once again, it's sort of a mystery as to why the offense isn't working. There were problems last year, but new offensive tools are in play this year. Ike Hilliard can really catch, Chris Calloway is as sharp as ever, but not a lot seems to get tossed their way. Why waste them by having them go downfield play after play?
Maybe all the wide receivers should be converted to tight ends, criss crossing back and forth right in front of Danny Kanell. Occasionally we can keep them back as extra blockers for the running game to get that going.
Now we're talking football!"

Mikefan was done with his game wrapup, and just for the record, please make sure any angry responses get marked with his address, not ours.
